Final call for bug fixes
by Alexandre Julliard Oct. 24, 2005

Oct. 24, 2005

Folks, I think we are in good shape for the release; the current plan is to release on Tuesday. So if you have bugs that you feel must be fixed for 0.9 (and that can be fixed with minimal changes), now is the time to speak up... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Wine project: Support third party LDDM graphic drivers
by Claude Mench Oct. 24, 2005

Oct. 24, 2005

hello all, don't bother on this message if you feel it has nothing to be here. But I rencently read a whole lot of MSDN documentation about the LDDM infrastructure. The new Windows graphics vista driver model. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/Display_d/… And what made me think we could have support for it in linux. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/Display_d/… It seem to me that having the most important parts of the driver being in user mode would really help to use it on other systems. >From what I read, the user mode driver would create the command buffer that would need to be uploaded to the GPU and a kernel module would need to schedule GPU access handle memory of the GPU and send the command buffer to it. This would need the Wine Expertise of DirectX reimplementation as well as some good kernel hacker, but in the end maybe the struggle to have linux specific support from Graphics adapter vendors could be one for all removed if we had LDDM driver support and then and X build on top of it (same philosofy as Xgl). it could also benefit to the wine project itself as we would have really windows driver being used, it should help to increase compatibility. sorry if it sound crazy...

Re: x11drv: Remove some of the mouse lag in games

Don't apply this patch. It doesn't really fix things yet. But the bug is somewhere there.

log_accum: add ability to include patch in notification (take 2)
by Dimi Paun Oct. 24, 2005

Oct. 24, 2005

Sorry, the previous version had the wrong default for do_patch. Which meant that you can't turn the embedded patch off. Mea culpa. This will help me keep all scripts in sync (such as the one from SF). ChangeLog Add ability to include patch in notification. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

Run ident on all wine source before 0.9?
by Uwe Bonnes Oct. 23, 2005

Oct. 23, 2005

Hello, just a provocing thought: Wouldn't the pending 0.9 release be a good chance to run ident with a consistant formating on all wine source files? At present, there a used a lot of different styles... -- Uwe Bonnes bon(a)elektron.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de Institut fuer Kernphysik Schlossgartenstrasse 9 64289 Darmstadt --------- Tel. 06151 162516 -------- Fax. 06151 164321 ----------

Oh, the pain! Script to install a VB app that uses MS SQL
by Dan Kegel Oct. 23, 2005

Oct. 23, 2005

I slogged through writing a shell script that works around all the problems I ran into which installing a VB app that uses MS SQL. Have a look, it's at: http://kegel.com/wine/initvbapp.sh.txt Oh, the pain, the pain! It had to download and install the MDAC runtime download and install the VB runtime download and build cabextract and unshield for the next step, download and manually unpack the ntwdblib.dll driver from MS SQL 7, work around Wine bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3636, and work around a bug in the VB packaging wizard http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299645, and *then* run the app's installer. I haven't verified that the app runs once installed; I'm just so happy to have the installer complete with no errors finally. This is probably similar to what winetools does, but I haven't looked at winetools to see how much overlap there is. I certainly prefer a simple shell script like this to a menu-driven opaque program, at least when trying to understand root causes of problems. Hopefully this will help somebody else who's trying to get VB apps to install.

why not test for '?' and '.' which are the forms we know off, instead of letting the door ajar ?

Re: Shell32 File Property dialog

Am Freitag, den 14.10.2005, 13:28 +0200 schrieb Johannes Anderwald: > I have a patch which adds file property dialogs to shell32 Welcome to wine. Your Idea is nice and many Thanks for your Wine-Support, but since wine is different from ReactOS, your Patch will not work here. I started half a year ago with similar Problems. Please read take a look in the "Wine Developer's Guide": http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-devel/index And the Part about "Coding Practice" http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-devel/codingpractice - Define a Unicode-String with L"text" does not work with gcc on unix. Please use the same Style as your Patch did for wProperties in "shlexec.c" (Array of WCHAR). - TCHAR is not used in wine. If there is a UNICODE and a ANSI implementation in Windows, implement the UNICODE-Version and let the ANSI-Version call the UNICODE-Version. - I don't knew, if DPRINT() works in wine. We use here: TRACE(), WARN(), ERR() and FIXME() with WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL() This messages go to the console. (There are more Macros for additional Debug-Channels as well) - You use numeric values very often (Dialog-Parameter, Buffer-Length) Are there really no defines for this Numbers? - K.I.S.S => Make your Patch as small as possible. An Idea would be to Start with one Page and add the other Pages later. There are some FIXME in the code (Example: Date/Time - Format). How much work is it to do it "the Windows-Way" ? The following Link is a useful collection of Coding Hints: http://wine-wiki.org/index.php/Coding_Hints (wine-wiki.org (private) started before the official wiki.winehq.org comes up.) Asking Steven Edwards how to Port from ReactOS to wine is IMHO another good idea. -- By By ... ... Detlef
